The job market in Augsburg and the surrounding area is subject to constant change. In order to make the most of the opportunities, we have analyzed the most important trends and developments that companies and applicants should be aware of.
- Demand for skilled workers at a record high
A persistent shortage of skilled workers characterizes the IT, healthcare and skilled trades sectors in particular. A recent study by the Swabian Chamber of Industry and Commerce(IHK Augsburg, 2023, Fachkräftemonitor Bayern 2023) confirms that the demand for qualified specialists will continue to rise. Companies must increasingly find innovative ways to find and retain qualified talent in the long term.
Tip for companies: Through strategic partnerships with specialist recruitment agencies, companies can access the resources they need more efficiently, find suitable candidates in a targeted manner and make the recruitment process more effective overall.
- Soft skills are becoming indispensable
Soft skills are just as important today as technical qualifications. According to the latest LinkedIn Jobs Report 2023, employers are increasingly emphasizing skills such as communication skills and teamwork, as these factors significantly improve everyday life and collaboration(source: LinkedIn, 2023, Jobs on the Rise Report).
Note for applicants: Application documents should address relevant soft skills, in particular by providing examples that demonstrate the impact of these skills in everyday working life.
- Flexible working models are on the rise
With the introduction of flexible and hybrid working models, location is becoming less and less important as an application factor. According to a study by the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (BMAS)(BMAS, 2023, Study on flexibility in the German labor market), the desire for remote and hybrid options is a growing criterion for employees in Germany.
Recommendation for companies: Flexibility in everyday working life is not just a "nice-to-have", but a real competitive advantage that attracts applicants and increases employee satisfaction.
